Scottish Water and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are still dealing with the leak this evening.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: "A suspected fuel discharge has gone into Scottish Water's waste water (sewer) network and has led to a chemical odour which has been reported in the Dalmarnock, Bridgeton and Parkhead areas of Glasgow.

"The majority of the fuel liquid has been contained and removed. However, the odours are persisting.

"Scottish Water is flushing parts of its network in the area to try and disperse the odour and is assisting the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service in safely venting the sewerage system.

"Scottish Water is also liaising with the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

"Scottish Water will continue to monitor the waste network in the area and investigate the cause of the suspected fuel discharge."
